Perfect for 5 adults

Everything here is perfect. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was nice. The washer/dryer was very convenient! The sunrise is absolutely gorgeous. Sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee watching it rise is heaven. Very short walk and you are on the beach! All communication with the host is quick and responsive. I definitely recommend staying here!

Gulf Shores

The property is exactly as decribed. The location is great and easy to get to. Plenty of carts for loading and unloading. We had a 2 day stay. The beach is fast and easy to get to. Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony, there is one balcony with 2 doors. The unit could use a better cleaning crew for the floors. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay. We would book here again.

Cute little condo, perfect location!

Very cute space right on the beach! Our family of 6 fit perfectly in the space and slept well on the comfy beds. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware including measuring cups, electric can opener, blender and coffee maker. While the condo itself is in an older building and needed a little normal TLC/maintenance, it was a very nice space. It’s literally a 2 minute walk downstairs to the beach which really is not crowded at all in front of the condo. There were even some beach supplies/toys within the condo. Within a few miles is everything you could ever want to do or eat. The owners were very nice, easy to work with and responded quickly. We had no issues during our stay and it was a pleasant experience. You’ll need beach towels and extra essentials like toilet paper, dishwasher and laundry pods, spices, garbage bags, paper towels, etc. There are a few essentials to get you started but won’t last all week. There are several grocery stores very close by making things quite easy and convenient. My favorite place other than the beach was the main balcony! It is pretty big and has updated furniture. It’s a very comfortable space with a breathtaking view! Thank you to Sara and Jared for sharing your space with us! Looking forward to our next beach adventure!

Amazing stay

Property has everything you need and pictures do not do it justice with how nice it is. You are steps away from the beach which makes it easy to have little ones and everything that comes with smaller kids. The property was very well kept up and the beds were very comfy. Will definitely be booking here again!

First time visitors to Gulf Shores

Our family enjoyed our stay, especially the two grandchildren. With 4 adults and two kids it was nice to have 3 b drools plus 3 baths. We enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was quite cool and we visited several of the recommended eating places. We hope to make it back to the area.

Unexpected issues, but GREAT customer service

We booked Jared and Sara's condo and planned our first family trip to the beach with our three kids. Imagine our surprise when we got there and there was no beach access! The city was reconstructing the beach and had caution tape and huge pipe along the beach, blocking us from walking out of the condo and playing on the beach right in front of the unit. We contacted Jared and Sara who did some digging and were extremely apologetic (even though it wasn't their fault) and we were able to access the beach a lot further down from the unit. Later in our stay, the construction vehicles moved down the beach further and we were able to access the beach right in front of the building and all was well. The owners refunded us a night of our stay for our troubles, which was very kind. The unit was older and in need of a few minor tweaks and repairs, but nothing that impacted our trip very much. We definitely would come back and stay. And check local news in the future to make sure the beach isn't closed! :)

Watch out! (unjustified repair charges)

Buyer beware! We are a family of five who were down for a soccer tournament. The condo is in a great spot with great views. The owners were responsive and helpful during our stay. The condo does, however, have a somewhat run-down feel to it……like maybe some updating and maintenance are overdue. I noticed the fridge door was a little clunky but thought little of it. We didn’t cook in the condo and probably only opened the fridge like 10-15 times over the weekend. Well, they hit us with substantial refrigerator repair charges a few days after we left......like almost enough to buy a new fridge! If opening and closing the fridge door a few times is a crime, lock me up!! Proceed with caution.

Great location. Awesome communication.

We had a great time at this condo. Clean and just as listed. Awesome location being right on the beach and the views are amazing! Getting to see the dolphins was a highlight of our mornings. Brought up a couple minimal things with owner that were addressed quickly. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for some time away!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Smith

Host profile image
We are from St. Louis Missouri where we live with our three little girls and dogs Moose and MIllie. Our dream has been to own a place in Gulf Shores, and it is a dream we get to share with you.

Please enjoy this beautiful, ocean front home and treat it as your own. Get comfortable, kick back, and relax. If you have any difficulties, please contact us directly.

We want you guys to have a great time and return anytime you need a break from reality. Reach out to us and let us know if you are a returning guest and we'll make you a deal!

God Bless.

Why they chose this property

It checked every box for us when we bought it! For starters, its beachy and fun, but very comfortable. Each guest has their own private bathroom and a bit of privacy. The balcony is huge and offers panoramic views of the ocean. It's high enough to get a great view but not so high that its scary with kids (4th floor).

The complex is perfect for families and small children. It is very easy to get around and sits right on the water! The beach is never crowded and the pools are always comfortable for kids, even in the winter.

I think families will really appreciate the gulf shores atmosphere.
